Nothing wrong with the Competition Electronics ProChrono Digital Chronograph CEI3800. I’ve shot mine end to end with a Oehler 35, the difference is negligible.

ProChrono works great easy to use, very reliable, the indoor lighting kit works well. I just got the parts to build my own computer serial cable this weekend.

It's a solid chrono, better than the Chrony line, but I still hate shooting at the box. The Oehler, just a $15 screen if you hit anything, my choice, but they were only $200 when I bought mine. Today, I like the CED, good unit w/ just screens to shoot thru & the box on your bench for easy data collection. You'll wonder how you ever reloaded w/o one.

Good chrony. The better news is that if you do end up shooting it, they'll fix it or replace it pretty inexpensively. Very prompt customer service.

You won't shoot it if you 1) put a target behind the chrony so that you have a fine point to aim, and 2) remember the bore and scope height relationship if shooting rifle.

I shot my diffuser rods after my buddy asked about the previous velocity right as I was letting one go. My eyes went down to the chrony, and so did my aim. Shook it all apart. I re-assembled and it worked ok for a while, but eventually sent it back.

I have a Pro Chrono. Only gripe is that the remote is as much as the chrono.

I made a serial cable for $11 and downloaded the software for free. I didn't really need it but it will make it easier having my laptop on the bench when I develop rifle loads this spring.

Yep I have the cable and software. Had a gift card I needed to use. Like Boxer said, I like seeing the display and statistics on bench. I also like being able to change strings and not have to wait for a seize fire Best $130 I have spent in awhile

Used my sons MEGA Nerf gun to test. The laptop is running Windows 7.
BTW I'm using the CE IR indoor light kit for testing, as you can see it works well. I've even used it at dusk outdoors and it doesn't miss a shot.
